The penance of our ancestors
will show in our actions.
What is good and what is bad,
we will understand as time goes by.
All the antics of our forefathers
will run wild and make merry noise!
If a son turns out just like his father,
he will even give the father himself
plenty of wise advice!
Calling out your father's name,
give me a child to playfully scold!
Chorus: Aha aha aha
And give me a child
who scolds the scolding father back!

All the lessons taught to him
will flourish and grow within him.
And through our lineage of children,
it will wonderfully carry on.
A good seed will never sprout into a bad crop;
trust me, my dear, the sky will never run dry.
The greatest wealth is the blessing of children,
and this wealth, once attained,
will never leave your side.
Calling out your father's name,
give me a child to playfully scold!
Chorus: Aha aha aha
And give me a child
who scolds the scolding father back!
Chorus: Aha aha aha
If a boy is born,
he will get my father's name!

And give me a child
who scolds the scolding father back!
